Reviewing an Auto Guidance Path

From the Navigation chart, select a path.

Select an option:

• To view a hazard and adjust the hazard path, select

Hazard Review.

• To change the path name, or to adjust or recalculate the

path, select Edit.

• To delete a path, select Delete.

• To navigate the selected path, select Navigate To.

Adjusting an Auto Guidance Path

From the Navigation chart, follow the on-screen instructions

or use the arrow keys to move the destination point to the

new location.

Select SELECT > Move Point.

Select BACK to return to the navigation screen.

Canceling an Auto Guidance Calculation in Progress

From the Navigation chart, select MENU > Cancel.

TIP: You can select BACK to quickly cancel the calculation.

Setting a Timed Arrival

You can use this feature on a route or an Auto Guidance path to

get feedback about when you should arrive at a selected point.

This allows you to time your arrival at a location, such as a

bridge opening or a race starting line.

From the Navigation chart, select MENU.

If necessary, select Navigation Options.

Select Timed Arrival.

TIP: You can quickly open the Timed Arrival menu by

selecting a point on the path or route.

Adjusting the Distance from Shore

The Shoreline Distance setting indicates how close to the shore

you want the Auto Guidance line to be placed. The Auto

Guidance line may move if you change this setting while

navigating. The available values for the Shoreline Distance

setting are relative, not absolute. To ensure the Auto Guidance

line is placed the appropriate distance from shore, you can

assess the placement of the Auto Guidance line using one or

more familiar destinations that require navigation through a

narrow waterway.

Dock your vessel or drop the anchor.

Select Settings > Navigation > Auto Guidance > Shoreline

Distance > Normal.

Select a destination that you have navigated to previously.

Select Navigate To > Auto Guidance.

Review the placement of the Auto Guidance line, and

determine whether the line safely avoids known obstacles

and the turns enable efficient travel.

Select an option:

• If the placement of the Auto Guidance line is satisfactory,

select MENU > Stop Navigation, and proceed to step 10.

• If the Auto Guidance line is too close to known obstacles,

select Settings > Navigation > Auto Guidance >

Shoreline Distance > Far.

• If the turns in the Auto Guidance line are too wide, select

Settings > Navigation > Auto Guidance > Shoreline

Distance > Near.

If you selected Near or Far in step 6, review the placement of

the Auto Guidance line, and determine whether the line

safely avoids known obstacles and the turns enable efficient

travel.

Auto Guidance maintains a wide clearance from obstacles in

open water, even if you set the Shoreline Distance setting to

Near or Nearest. As a result, the chartplotter may not

reposition the Auto Guidance line, unless the destination

selected requires navigation through a narrow waterway.

Select an option:

• If the placement of the Auto Guidance line is satisfactory,

select MENU > Stop Navigation, and proceed to step 10.

• If the Auto Guidance line is too close to known obstacles,

select Settings > Navigation > Auto Guidance >

Shoreline Distance > Farthest.

• If the turns in the Auto Guidance line are too wide, select

Settings > Navigation > Auto Guidance > Shoreline

Distance > Nearest.

If you selected Nearest or Farthest in step 8, review the

placement of the Auto Guidance line, and determine

whether the line safely avoids known obstacles and the turns

enable efficient travel.

Auto Guidance maintains a wide clearance from obstacles in

open water, even if you set the Shoreline Distance setting to

Near or Nearest. As a result, the chartplotter may not

reposition the Auto Guidance line, unless the destination

selected requires navigation through a narrow waterway.

Repeat steps 3 through 9 at least once more, using a

different destination each time, until you are familiar with the

functionality of the Shoreline Distance setting.

Auto Guidance Path Configurations

CAUTION

The Safe Depth and Vertical Clearance settings influence how

the chartplotter calculates an Auto Guidance path. If an area has

an unknown water depth or an unknown obstacle height, the

Auto Guidance path is not calculated in that area. If an area at

the beginning or the end of an Auto Guidance path is shallower

than the Safe Depth or lower than the Vertical Clearance

settings, the Auto Guidance path may not be calculated in that

area, depending on the map data. On the chart, the course

through those areas appears as a gray line or a magenta and

gray striped line. When your boat enters one of those areas, a

warning message appears.

NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in some

areas.

NOTE: Not all settings apply to all maps.

You can set the parameters the chartplotter uses when

calculating an Auto Guidance path.

Safe Depth: Sets the minimum water depth, based on chart

depth data, that your boat can safely travel over.

NOTE: The minimum water depth for the premium charts

(made before 2016) is 3 feet. If you enter a value of less than

3 feet, the charts only use depths of 3 feet for Auto Guidance

path calculations.

Vertical Clearance: Sets the minimum height of a bridge or

obstacle, based on chart data, that your boat can safely

travel under.

Shoreline Distance: Sets how close to the shore you want the

Auto Guidance path to be placed. The Auto Guidance path

may move if you change this setting while navigating. The

available values for this setting are relative, not absolute. To

ensure that the Auto Guidance line is placed the appropriate

distance from shore, you can assess the placement of the

Auto Guidance path using one or more familiar destinations

that require navigation through a narrow waterway (Adjusting

the Distance from Shore, page 14).

Boundaries

Boundaries allow you to avoid or remain in designated areas in

a body of water. You can set an alarm to alert you when you

enter or exit a boundary.
